A/N: Chapter 3 coming at you! Picking up where we left off on the playground.
-Butch's Pov-
This blonde kid was really annoying. Why did he even want me playing tag with him anyway? I told him I didn't want to and yet he still bugged me about it. Not only that, but he and the rest of the stupid kids decided to make ME it. This was a terrible idea! I would end up hurting someone!
"Butch is it!" Some brown haired kid yelled at the top of his lungs. Everyone scattered around the playground. I looked around and tried to tag at least one person but I just couldn't do it without my abilities. I saw the kid with the red hat and decided to run at him. He saw me and took off. He was pretty fast and was gaining distance. At the rate I was going, I'd never catch up with him. I ended up losing him and dropped to my knees, exhausted. I growled with frustration and punched the concrete below me, leaving a small crack. This was getting on my nerves really fast.
"What's the matter Butch?" I heard a voice say to me. I looked up and saw that green eyed girl again. She was grinning down at me. "You tired already? You've been "it" for the past ten minutes." I glared at her. I lunged at her in an attempt to tag her but ended up flat on my face. She had sidestepped me with less difficulty than I'd like to admit. "Nice try dude, but your too slow." She took off running after her stupid speech.
I was beyond angry now. I noticed that a green aura began to surround me and as quickly as it appeared, it faded. I felt extremely light on my feet and my legs felt loose yet tense at the same time. I saw the green eyed girl again and decided to sprint across the playground for her. I dashed right in front of her. Her eyes went wide and I gave her a smirk that would make my dad proud. I flung my hand at her a forcefully tagged her. The impact sent her flying back into a tree. She struggled to get to her feet while she fought the urge to shed a tear.
"Ha! Who's too slow now?" I said grinning. I noticed that Brick, Boomer and the two other girls the sat at my table came running up to her.
"You BC, you good?" Brick said to her. The green eyed girl pushed past him and ran up to me.
"What's your problem, ya jerk!" She snapped at me.
"What did I do? Not my fault you were too slow!" I said back to her.
A crowd of kids began to surround us as we bickered back and forth. We were both getting red with anger. I was getting a really weird feeling inside of my.
"You pushed me for no reason!" She yelled in my face.
"Maybe if you weren't so wimpy, you wouldn't have gotten sent flying." I said with narrowed eyes. She balled up her fist and grit her teeth. "What's wrong? You mad because I said you were a wimp? Well that sucks because you are."
"Shut up Butch!" She said with a venomous tone.
"Sorry girly! I don't talk to wi-"
WHAAAAACCKKK
"..." Yep, she hit me. Punched me right in the eye and trust me, it hurt. I couldn't see straight and ended up staggering backwards. The whole playground was going nuts. I wasn't even mad though...I was pissed! I looked up at her and snarled. I cocked my fist back, ready to strike her back but was stopped by the teacher.
"What's going on out here?!" Ms. Keane asked.
"Butch shoved Buttercup into a tree!" The redheaded girl with a stupid bow said quickly.
"WHAT?! But that was an accident! She actually hit me!" I shouted furiously.
"Butch, Buttercup, please come with me." Ms. Keane said to us. We nodded our heads and followed her.
Ms. Keane brought us to the classroom and told us to sit away from each other.
"You two need to learn how to get along. So until you're more civilized with each other, you'll be spending the rest of recess in here." The teacher said before she walked out and shut the door behind her.
I can't believe I got in trouble for this. It was her fault! All I did was tag her. It's not my fault I'm so undeniably strong. You know who's fault this also is? Boomers! That stupid blonde, buck toothed idiot made me play that stupid game. I told him I didn't want to and now here I am, in trouble already. I swear I gonna get him back for this.
I sighed with annoyance yet another time today. I was bored and I've only been in here for a minute. I got up from my chair and went to the cubbies. I started to loot them for snacks and things to keep me entertained.
"You can't do that! That's stealing!" The dumb girl shouted at me. I looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"So what?! Finders keepers!" I said back to her.
"But that's not your stuff." She pressed on.
I rolled my eyes at her. "What are you gonna do? Snitch on me?" She gave me a questioning glance. I exhaled deeply and looked at her. "Gosh you're a problem…" I tossed her a KitKat bar. "Here. If it'll get you off my back, then take it." She caught the piece of candy and looked at it. "What now? I didn't poison it you know."
"I can't just eat something that's not mine." She said.
"Are you kidding me? Look, I stole it which made it mine, then I gave it to you which makes it yours." I tried to explain to her. She still looked iffy about the whole situation. "Look eat it or don't, I really don't care either way. Just don't go ratting me out."
She kept staring at the candy bar until I went back to my seat. My pockets were full of various sweets. "Fine…"
"What?" I asked confused.
"I'll eat it…" She said in low voice.
"See! That's the spirit!" I shouted with mock enthusiasm.
She opened her candy and began to eat it. I opened mine and ate as well. Guess the teacher should've thought twice before leaving me alone with a ton of stuff. Oh well, not my problem.
"Why are you such a jerk to others?" She decided to ask.
"... Because I can." I replied.
"You won't make any friends that way." She continued.
"I don't care. I don't need any friends. I'm me." I said.
"Everyone needs at least one friend you know."
"Not me!" I said quickly.
"But you'll end up all alone and bitter."
"I'll be fine."
"But what if-"
"Why do you care so much? What does it matter to you if I have friends or not?" I asked, cutting her off.
"... I was just saying…"
"...You wanna be friends?" I asked with a raised brow.
"With you?! No way!" She said quickly. I tried to ignore the faint sadness inside of my.
"Well forget you then. I didn't wanna be friends with a wimp like you anyway!" I snapped at her.
The class came back in after recess was over. I sat back at the table with the three stupid girls. I got looks from just about every kid in the class.
Brick and Boomer were talking about something. I could listen to their conversation with my enhanced hearing, and that's what I planned on doing.
"He's a little scary Brick." Boomer said nervously.
"Don't worry about him. I bet he's not even that tough." Brick said confidently.
"Ok Brick." Boomer said.
Not that tough?! I'm me! I'm the toughest guy around. I looked back at Brick and Boomer with a glare. Brick glared back and Boomer started to quiver like a wuss. Yeah, they were gonna be a problem. I could already have tell.
